Your recent editing history at German battleship Bismarck shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing a page's content back to how you believe it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree with your changes. Please stop editing the page and use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus among the editors involved. Wikipedia provides a page explaining how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can request help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution such as a third opinion. In some cases, you may wish to request page protection while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, or whether it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule— if things indicate that you intend to continue reverting content on the page.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:23, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing German battleship Bismarck for a period of 60 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 22:09, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

To follow up on the automated note above, I've blocked you from editing German battleship Bismarck for sixty hours for edit warring against an established editorial consensus, one that was expressly identified through a hidden note in the article's edit window. Please instead engage on this extensively debated topic on the article's talk page, but please know that the current state of the article is already the product of many hours of discussion.

"many hours of discussion" and it's just a couple of Wehrbs rejecting the established consensus among historians and using a bot to enforce it, lol, lmao even. You scum don't deserve to be administrators. EdDarkTrooper (talk) 07:30, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

A few points about those comments, EdDarkTrooper.

Firstly, The ed17 (who signs simply as "Ed") was just enforcing Wikipedia's policy on edit-warring. Enforcing Wikipedia's policies is exactly what administrators are expected to do, and castigating an administrator for doing so is not reasonable, whether you personally agree or disagree with the policies concerned.

Your comments about the editing amount to saying that your edits were right. Wikipedia's policy on edit warring is, basically, "don't edit war", not "don't edit war unless you are convinced that you are right". Indeed, it would be completely meaningless to have an edit warring policy which exempted any editor who was convinced that they were right, as in most edit wars everybody involved thinks they are right.

Wikipedia has policies on civility and on personal attacks. If you disagree with what other editors do or say then you are perfectly welcome to politely explain why, but addressing editors as "scum" is not acceptable. I strongly suggest that you withdraw that remark, and you should also take warning that if you continue in that way you may well be blocked for longer, and not just from one page.

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in New York-class battleship. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please don't do that thing with the numbers. Drmies (talk) 18:10, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
